date-time-utility

This package consists of several functions that assists users in handling the complexities of dates and times.

Features:

• Vanilla Javascript, no additional packages used.
• Given a specific date, how many seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years away is it?
• Given two specific dates, how many seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years away are they from each other?

Modules:

Users have the ability to use one of the following modules that give users the functions corresponding to the timespan of choice:

* seconds
* minutes
* hours
* days
* weeks
* months
* years

timespan.fromCurrentTime(date)

Takes a date and determines how many {timespans} away it is from right now.

var date = new Date();
     
date.setDate(date.getDate() + 365);

const seconds = dateTimeUtility.seconds.fromCurrentTime(date); //31536000
const minutes = dateTimeUtility.minutes.fromCurrentTime(date); //525600
const hours = dateTimeUtility.hours.fromCurrentTime(date); //8760
const days = dateTimeUtility.days.fromCurrentTime(date); //365
const weeks = dateTimeUtility.weeks.fromCurrentTime(date); //52
const months = dateTimeUtility.months.fromCurrentTime(date); //12
const years = dateTimeUtility.years.fromCurrentTime(date); //1

timespan.betweenDates(date1, date2)

Takes two dates and determines how many {timespans} away they are from each other

const date1 = new Date();

const date2 = new Date();

date1.setDate(date1.getDate() + 5);

date2.setDate(date2.getDate() + 370);

const seconds = dateTimeUtility.seconds.betweenDates(date1, date2) //31536000
const minutes = dateTimeUtility.minutes.betweenDates(date1, date2) //525600
const hours = dateTimeUtility.hours.betweenDates(date1, date2) //8760
const days = dateTimeUtility.days.betweenDates(date1, date2) //365
const weeks = dateTimeUtility.weeks.betweenDates(date1, date2) //52
const months = dateTimeUtility.months.betweenDates(date1, date2) //12
const years = dateTimeUtility.years.betweenDates(date1, date2) //1

Additionally, users have a module that allows them to determine datetimes that are a specified amount of time from the current time, for example they can determine the datetime x seconds, minutes, hours, ect. from right now.

* datetime

datetime.secondsFromNow(number)

Takes a number and determines what the datetime is that number of seconds from then

const seconds = dateTimeUtility.datetime.secondsFromNow(60); //60 seconds from right now

datetime.minutesFromNow(number)

Takes a number and determines what the datetime is that number of minutes from then

const minutes = dateTimeUtility.datetime.minutesFromNow(60); //60 minutes from right now

datetime.hoursFromNow(number)

Takes a number and determines what the datetime is that number of hours from then

const hours = dateTimeUtility.datetime.hoursFromNow(60); //60 hours from right now

datetime.daysFromNow(number)

Takes a number and determines what the datetime is that number of days from then

const days = dateTimeUtility.datetime.daysFromNow(60); //60 days from right now

datetime.weeksFromNow(number)

Takes a number and determines what the datetime is that number of weeks from then

const seconds = dateTimeUtility.datetime.weeksFromNow(60); //60 weeks from right now

datetime.monthsFromNow(number)

Takes a number and determines what the datetime is that number of months from then

const months = dateTimeUtility.datetime.monthsFromNow(60); //60 months from right now

datetime.yearsFromNow(number)

Takes a number and determines what the datetime is that number of years from then

const years = dateTimeUtility.datetime.yearsFromNow(60); //60 years from right now

Additionally, within the same module, users have a set of convenience functions that allow them to see the datetime tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, yesterday, last week, last month, and last year.

* datetime

datetime.thisTimeTomorrow()

Tells the user the datetime this time tomorrow.

const time = dateTimeUtility.datetime.thisTimeTomorrow(); //This time tomorrow

datetime.thisTimeNextWeek()

Tells the user the datetime this time next week.

const time = dateTimeUtility.datetime.thisTimeNextWeek(); //This time next week

datetime.thisTimeNextMonth()

Tells the user the datetime this time next month.

const time = dateTimeUtility.datetime.thisTimeNextMonth(); //This time next month

datetime.thisTimeNextYear()

Tells the user the datetime this time next year.

const time = dateTimeUtility.datetime.thisTimeNextYear(); //This time next year

datetime.thisTimeYesterday()

Tells the user the datetime this time yesterday.

const time = dateTimeUtility.datetime.thisTimeYesterday(); //This time yesterday

datetime.thisTimeLastWeek()

Tells the user the datetime this time last week.

const time = dateTimeUtility.datetime.thisTimeLastWeek(); //This time last week

datetime.thisTimeLastMonth()

Tells the user the datetime this time last month.

const time = dateTimeUtility.datetime.thisTimeLastMonth(); //This time last month

datetime.thisTimeLastYear()

Tells the user the datetime this time last year.

const time = dateTimeUtility.datetime.thisTimeLastYear(); //This time last year
